A wonderful activity! I remember there was a TV show called "Звездный час" (A star hour) when I was a small girl, where in the final children played this game - Anagrams. And I am a grown-up already and I still like this game, like to take very very long words and think of as many words from the given letters as possible. It really makes your brain work. Thank you for reminding us about such a good and interesting game that can be used at English classes!
